Sailfin dragons are impressive-looking lizards found in the tropical regions of eastern Indonesia, New Guinea, and the Philippines. The largest of the agamid family, these water-loving lizards are usually found basking in or near mountain streams. They flee at the first sight of danger, typically running bipedally into the water until they sink and swim away. Their ability to hide underwater for up to an hour helps to ensure any threats pass. Read this blog https://exploretraveler.com/sailfin-dragon-lizards-from-the-philippines/ if you want to know more about Sailfin Dragon Lizards.

The nature of the Philippines is wonderous and full of many creatures to see. This particular lizard is unique in its ability to just hang around and provides many opportunities to take photographs and videos of them once you find them. Our recommendation is to go to South Leyte and maybe around the outskirts of Ormoc City, you can find them.

We normally hire a driver for this kind of trip and always keep your security by being aware of your surroundings. You can fly into Tacloban and then drive south or around the island enjoying a rich nature and very friendly people along the way.

The Tepe Sialk ziggurat is known to be the earliest culture in Iran, and the Siyalk culture found in the north-central part of that land at Tepe Siyalk near Kashan and Chashmah Ali near Teheran. The Siyalk culture is the earliest known culture of the pre-Halaf cultures of northern Mesopotamia and Syria. The area around this site has been dated back to 7500 BC and the temple base structure has been preliminarily dated to around 3000 BC. The structure of the Tepe Sialk structure or (ziggurat) is very similar to the more recent structures built in southern Mesopotamia.

There are times when I begin to plan our travels based on my interests and the type of history I might find. My writings and research and normally centered around ancient sites and the Tepe Sialk Ziggurat is one of those lesser-known sites due to its location being in Iran. Now one may or may not have difficulty getting there depending on where they are from and the passport they carry. We may not be able to get there today but wanted to shed some light on this location so others may be able to visit even if we cannot today. I recently looked at this site up again and found there to be much more available, and the current anthropologists in Iran to be continuing to write papers on their findings there. I’m going to be adding some additional information here along with photographs of some of the pottery they have found.
